Annual Report 2019 AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 2019 1 AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT 2019 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends and Supporters of the Air Force Association, We are pleased to present the Air Force Association’s 2019 Annual Report, 2019 was another successful year for our association. Thanks to the support of our 96,000 members, sponsors, donors and volunteers across the globe, AFA was able to successfully execute our mission of promoting a dominant Air Force and a strong national defense. Consecutive years of strong financial performance have enabled us to grow our programs, enhance our professional development offerings, advocate for issues of key importance for the Air Force, and give more back to our Wounded Airmen who have given so much in support of our great Air Force. AFA’s 200 chapters continue to do remarkable grassroots work in communities around the globe. From aerospace education programs to fundraisers supporting Wounded Airmen, GERALD R. MURRAY our chapter volunteers, Aerospace Education and Field Councils have provided unparalleled Chairman of the Board leadership for our association. Through a series of professional development events coupled with a robust marketing plan, AFA’s membership grew this past year. We also focused our membership efforts on partnerships with industry and are pleased to share that we increased our corporate members by 27 percent in 2019. Not only have our two major events, the Air, Space & Cyber Conference and Air Warfare Symposium, seen growth in attendance, we’ve also sold out the exhibit floors for both shows and brought in crowd-pleasing keynote speakers such as Founder of the Virgin Group Sir Richard Branson, and Dallas Mavericks Owner Mark Cuban! AFA continues to be a non-partisan voice for the Department of the Air Force. AFA applauded the decision by Congress to create the Space Force in December 2019. AFA congratulates General Raymond and all the Airmen who will serve in the U.S. Space Force. AFA stands ready to educate, advocate, and support all the servicemembers of both the Air and Space Forces. AFA’s think tank, the Mitchell Institute, has been busier than ever, hosting over 70 events; publishing thought-leading reports; and shaping the defense debate in Washington, D.C. and beyond through engagement with Congress, industry, the media, and DoD leaders. Our STEM programs and initiatives continue to reach more students each year. Our CyberPatriot program broke registration records again this year. Both StellarXplorers and CyberPatriot offer their students the opportunity to gain experience and confidence in BRUCE “ORVILLE” WRIGHT problem solving, analytical skills, teamwork, and leadership, key attributes for tomorrow’s President work environments. Our Wounded Airman Program support for Airmen and their families is unparalleled. We hosted a successful hospitality tent for 1,000 wounded warriors and their families. AFA was proud to once again host the annual Wounded Airman Cycling Challenge with $26,000 raised to support wounded Airmen and their families. AFA’s flagship publication Air Force Magazine launched a revamped website and Daily Report, capping a year of tremendous growth driven by expanded news coverage and production. The site published almost 100 stories per month in 2019. Thank you for helping us carry out our vital mission and for being an Airman for Life! Sincerely, Gerald R. Murray Bruce “Orville” Wright AFA Chairman of the Board AFA President 2 ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Accomplishments: • Provided Professional Development & Networking Forums • Advocated for a dominant Air Force and benefits for Airmen • Informed airpower advocates through AFA Publications • Supported Airmen, Family and Community Programs • Built the pipeline of future Air Force leaders through STEM activities 3 2019 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & NETWORKING CONFERENCES AND SYMPOSIA AFA’s Air Warfare Symposium (AWS) is a leading event for the aerospace and defense industry geared toward the professional development of Air Force officers, enlisted members, Guard, Reserve, civilians, retirees, and veterans.

    1 Police Chief No, Chief Politician Yes The Life of Leon Mercer Jordan, and the Shaping Memories of His Father and Grandfather By Robert M. Farnsworth 2 Dedicated to James C. Olson, whose professional dedication to history led him to complete his biography of Stuart Symington despite years of physical difficulty near the end of his life. His example challenged me in my elder years to tell the story of a remarkable man who made a significant difference in my life. 3 Preface How All This Began I moved from Detroit to Kansas City with my wife and four children in the summer of 1960 to assume my first tenure-track position as an Assistant Professor of American Literature at Kansas City University. The civil rights movement was gathering steam and I had made a couple of financial contributions to the Congress of Racial Equality while still in Detroit. CORE then asked if I were interested in becoming more socially active. I said yes, but I was moving to Kansas City. It took them months to catch up with me again in Kansas City and repeat their question. I again said yes. A few weeks later a field representative was sent to Kansas City to organize those who had showed interest. He called the first meeting in our home. Most who attended were white except for Leon and Orchid Jordan and Larry and Opal Blankinship. Most of us did not know each other, except the Jordans and the Blankinships were well acquainted. The rep insisted we organize and elect officers.

The 1947 legislation has served us well. It has undergirded our diplomatic efforts, provided the basis to establish our military capa- bilities, and focused our intelligence assets. But the world has changed dramatically in the last fifty years, and particularly in the last decade. Institutions designed in another age may or may not be appropriate for the future. It is the mandate of the United States Commission on National Security/21st Century to examine precise- ly that question. It has undertaken to do so in three phases: the first to describe the world emerging in the first quarter of the next century, the second to design a national security strategy appropri- ate to that world, and the third to propose necessary changes to the national security structure in order to implement that strategy effectively.

    Air Force Association 1501 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22209-1198 (703) 247-5800 An Independent Non Profit Aerospace Organization MONROE W. HATCH, JR. Executive Director August 24, 1994 Dr. Martin Harwit Director National Air and Space Museum Smithsonian Institution Washington, DC 20560 Dear Martin: I received your letter of August 23 and was somewhat surprised. While you rightly point out that the Air Force Association has not provided you with a list containing “line-in, line-out” points of criticism on your last two scripts, I believe we have, from the start, provided substantive comments on what is wrong with your current plans – both in private and in public. The problems associated with this exhibit are not simply minor problems of language or technical issues – they are structural and more fundamental in nature, and, to date, they have not been addressed by the museum. While we are pleased that you have received the kind of “line-in, line-out” comments provided by the service historians and others who have undertaken a “technical” review of the script, the issues of context and balance need to be addressed on the “broad” structural and conceptual levels. For instance, you yourself wrote in an April 16 memorandum to your curators that two-thirds of the photos of death and suffering should be removed from section 400. You also said that pictures of American prisoners of war should be included in that section, but the curators apparently ignored your direction in preparing the May 31 script. We have pointed out the overall imbalance in terms of the number of photos in different sections, and have pointed out issues related to context by citing some of the most egregious examples of the underlying theme that the Japanese were victims and the Americans aggressors in World War II.
